Have you ever committed a sin and tried to hide it? Do you think God won’t see it? Today, we will see how one man in the Bible tries to hide his sin and what God does in response.
God has a plan for David and his family (2 Samuel 7:1-29)
God makes David king (2 Samuel 1:1-2:7)
God Sees David's Heart (1 Samuel 16:1-23)
Saul disobeys God (1 Sam 13:1 - 15:35)
Israel is given a king, Saul, like all the other nations, after rejecting God as their king. Saul was chosen by God to rule over and deliver His people from the Philistines. In today’s lesson, we will see that Saul was truly a king like the other nations in that while he won battles against his enemies, he did not love God and he did not obey Him. What will God do?
Israel rejects God as King (1 Sam 8:1-12:25)
Samuel is now old and the people are in danger from the Ammonites. They don’t want God as their king and instead ask Samuel for a king to judge them and fight their battles so that they may be like the other nations. God chooses a king for them, Saul, who defeats the Ammonites. Afterwards, Samuel gives a warning for the people to fear and serve God.
